Gooners and Gloves Podcast #7! Beterbiev vs Bivol Fight Reaction and Thoughts!

How did you score it?

[@hdizzy2497]

115-113 Beterbiev. Beterbiev controlled the pace. Was defending and countering on the front foot. Broke him down and dominated 2 of the championship rounds. You can’t backpedal and reactively flurry for most of the fight and get obliterated with guard up on ropes for 2 of the championship rounds. Bivol did a but much of that so it cost him the fight IMO. I had it even going into the 10th

​@@hdizzy2497 Great take! Thanks for the comment!

Bivol won the fight, most of the shots from Beterbiev were blocked. Blocked shots are not scoring shots

@@dapson7919 I had Bivol a point up heading into the 12th round. However, I felt Beterbiev did enough to take the 12th round and thus make the fight a draw. However, with Bivol's excellent ring general ship, slick boxing and combination punches there is absolutely a case to be made that he won!
